168 Scholars & Counting

At Scholar Unravel Middle East (UME), we answer fundamental questions and discuss fascinating topics about this region's history - from its founding as the cradle of civilization to its crucibles throughout the centuries to its current challenges and crises. We do this in weekly podcast conversations with eminent scholars. 

For a sample of our program, listen to the trailer.
